Passing on hope, Life Updates, faith, Health Tips & things I love

Welcome to a glimpse into my life - kind of like a scrapbook with thoughts, encouragement, truths, struggles, highlights, health tips and things I love. Over the past eight years, my life has taken an unexpected turn as I've navigated severe chronic illnesses while being housebound.  I don't like to focus on my symptoms as much as I choose to focus on the hope God has given me and the grace that continues to sustain our family. This will be evident in what is written in this space. May the promises of God you encounter on these pages help remind you that no matter what you are facing, you are not alone. Thanks for being here and joining me on this journey!

November 14, 2025 just a little hello from my heart

just a little hello from my heart

It’s been a long stretch of quiet here. I never expected to be away this long, but some seasons ask for stillness and that’s where I’ve been.

nine years...

Nine years ago today, a line was drawn between before and after. Life changed completely for our family and the hard began in ways I never could have imagined.

He Is Risen

"How beautiful are the feet of the man that came for me. How beautiful are the scars that tell me just how kind you are... My Jesus."

The more I rehearse the ways God has come through for me in the past, the stronger my confidence grows that He will carry me through, fight for me and make a way for me in my current battle.

March 30, 2024 Silent  Saturday

Silent Saturday

"The fact that there is a Saturday wedged between the day of crucifixion and the day of resurrection is proof to me that we love a God who is close to the broken-hearted. Close to the waiting. Close to the ones walking a path of uncertainty and turmoil." - Hannah Brencher

Hope in the Promise of the Cross

The cross on Good Friday. A place of profound sorrow where hope seemed hidden in the shadow of such overwhelming loss.

Raw Faith

“The pain that you’ve been feeling can’t compare to the joy that’s coming.” Romans 8:18 whispers this promise into the weary corners of our hearts.

January 4, 2025 a remedy for winter skin

a remedy for winter skin

Remedy was born from our personal journey to soothe and bring relief to our daughter’s severe eczema. What started as a simple way to care for her skin has grown into something deeply meaningful for our family.

April 22, 2023 Unstoppable Hope

Unstoppable Hope

I decided to make my own sunshine after a week filled with dreary weather. One of my favorite combos of essential oils to diffuse (stress away + citrus fresh)!! Smells like summer in a bottle!

Homemade Elderberry Syrup

I started using elderberry syrup when my son was only a few years old during cold and flu season. It has since become one of my go-to remedies for my children during the cooler months here in Minnesota

December 25, 2023 Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

May you bravely pursue the opportunity in this present moment to take a deep breath and dive deep into the wonder of grace: Grace when things do not make sense. Grace when you are not sure how you can handle any more of this. Grace when nothings seems to come together the right way. Grace when you are not sure who will leave or who will stay. Grace upon grace upon grace on the best and worst days. Grace to know no matter what, in the end, you will be okay.
